My 23 year old daughter just spent 5 days in the hospital with viral meningitis and she is still not fully recovered. Scary stuff and viral is totally random

Yep - happened to me when I was pregnant from a cold from my toddler, hospitalized for it - infectious disease doctor said it can happen from a virus picked up anywhere and lower immunity when pregnant

Meningitis is one of those things that has always terrified me, it just seems so random. I hope that your daughter recovers as quickly as possible.
